Honestly, I dont even need 120hz. Its wonderful, but I can function with 60hz. But I cannot go back to the days of VSYNC. I absolutely require VRR. Just a small 40-60fps range and I would strongly consider the OLED monitors.

The problem with VRR @ 60hz is you're forced to use a 57FPS frame cap. Every frame per second is precious at 60hz not to mention it eliminates any possibility of LFC for games that drop under 40 even momentarily.

Yea...same woman put her fist thru my first Gateway XHD3000 way back in 2009-2010ish.
XHD3000's are not fist proof and AW55's are not stiletto proof!
It sucks ass when you watch $4,000 go up in smoke.
Must have something amazing between her legs. Mine would be gone.

Its 2021. 60hz needs to be shunned like Leprosy.

It wouldn't matter after that, 'cause I would be in jail for assualt. I tell all my women, don't use a weapon unless you want to quickly grow testicles and fight like a man.

Yes, and that really sucks. But if I had to choose between a crappy IPS edge lit panel at 144hz or a OLED at 60hz (with VRR) the OLED absolutely has a chance. The image just looks that much better.
Well, it all depends on the IPS panel, the LG 37,5 are really on par with OLED's image quality except for IPS glow and black color. If there was one without mechanical flaws - I'd be running one now instead of the OLED gladly. The one has to have hardware gsync module, that makes them run smoother with less motion blur than OLEDs without VRR.

36 OLED light in SDR is 120 nits - this came from some review.
Is that correct?
How do we then calculate it further?
If you wall mount it, buy separate stands for your speakers and pull your desk back a good amount. Otherwise no, not with this desk.

You will really enjoy it. I play more games more often that I did with my Alienware ultrawide because I just enjoy looking at the image
I agree with the speaker stands.
I checked the dimensions, and it's only 4" wider and less than 8" taller than the 38" UW in the photo. I think it'll be perfect. I lean back when I play, not forward. I rarely play FPS anymore, mostly sim games and Diablo 3.
I measured it on my unit with a meter and it was like the reviews said. 25 is around 100, 30 around 120 etc. I did not measure higher values because I have no interest in those and use the TV in a dark room (in practice I use 20-25 for SDR).

Not to be pedantic but I got a kick out of that considering what was said to have happened:
That shoe wasn't a feint it was a direct throw. The use of wallet in regard to women was implied to not be faint, as in not "faint of wallet". That is, even if the results were rage inducing based on the stories. Feint of wallet would be a fake use or throw of a wallet ( or a shoe ) aka throwing garbage. Pretending to take out your wallet to pay could be considered a feint in some ways I guess, faking throwing a ball for a dog to get him to run, or faking throwing a shoe without throwing it rather than ..
feint:
a deceptive or pretended blow, thrust, or other movement, especially in boxing or fencing.
"a brief feint at the opponent's face"
faint: lacking the courage to face something difficult or dangerous —usually used in the phrase not for the faint of heart. "This is a difficult climb that is not for the faint of heart".
courage ... 
faint........................
What the alienware mainly had over OLED TVs at the time was a displayport for 120hz vrr for which a lot of gaming monitors were (and some still are) charging a stupid premium for before hdmi 2.1 displays and gpus came out (some TVs already had 120hz screens in them and were vrr capable but only at 60hz, at native 4k anyway, due to hdmi 2.0b). Though some of us still don't have hdmi 2.1 gpus to go with the LG due to stock so there is that.

Since the C1 is basically unchanged from the CX the settings should be similar if you get one of those.
Previous monitor was 144hz 1440p TN. Current is the CX OLED @ 4K120.
I will NEVER go back to 60hz. It feels like 30hz used to feel.... slow and laggy.

on which one ? on cx, reviwes said 36 is 120nits
btw -anyone got tips how to use chrome? I already set windows to dark mode, autohide taskbar, 1minute blank screen saver and hide icons. But the bookmarks and top bar in chrome is still the last static element

F11 for full screen will hide all the UI. I don't think you really need to go to such extreme measures though. But you could also just not use the bookmark bar and use something like a speed dial page instead ,or a completely different browser like Vivaldi that has all that built in and a much more efficient and customizable user interface etc.

You can get all of that on a 2080Ti but not at the same time. You can get 4k/120hz 4:2:0 VRR no HDR or 4k/60hz 4:4:4 HDR VRR natively, or 4k/120hz 4:4:4 HDR no VRR with one of the adapters.
The ONLY way to get everything that the CX has to offer (at the same time) is either an RTX 3000 series or RX 6000 series GPU. HDMI 2.1 is the key.

And it’s f’ing glorious.
The CX was really, really great with HDMI 2.0...but 2.1 is the way to fully unleash the beast. It’s amazing.

Hehe, I was off for a few mostly myself... I recognized your name!
Hey guys,
After asking around and reading a lot in here, I got a 48" CX in September, and love it. I've been running at 4k@60Hz because my brain couldn't do numbers, and I thought I needed a 30xx with HDMI 2.1 to do 4k@120Hz until my friend pointed out I was an idiot that that's only for 4:4:4 content.
When I first swapped to 120Hz, all the text seemed blurry, but I found the fix of turning off pixel shift. But anything red is still weird, and I'm not sure what's going on with it. It's a pain to try and take a picture of, this is the best I can get. You can see the white text at the top is perfectly fine, but the red is 'crunchy' - look at the hash sign, and looks worse in real life. I run a multi monitor setup and this is the only display that it happens on. Is this something to do with what I've been reading about chroma subsampling in 4:2:2? I don't understand the modern display stuff in this much detail, but I'm trying to learn!

yes. this is chroma subsampling effect. It's not full rgb in order to acheive 120hz on hdmi 2.0
Btw - anyone with new c1 models yet?
My c1 keeps switching back my audio preset to game optimizer on every tv or pc restart. Super annoying
Is this noticable in games?
So can I get 4k120 4:4:4 no vrr with the dongle?
I'm wondering if I made a mistake buying this without a 2.1 card.

I used my CX for a couple of weeks before you were kind enough to let me get your 3080 from EVGA and while the 3080 is better, the 2080ti really did a nice job in everything I used it for. I enjoyed gaming on it with the 2080ti more than on the Gsync ultrawide I had before it. I never tried it with a dongle, but I would suspect that would help even more. I would keep it until you get a 2.1 card, but if you are within the return window, you could always return it and re-buy it when you have a 2.1 card.
Hey all, thinking of getting a CX1. Have a 3080 to drive it. While it is my gaming box, I do a ton of work on it and I need razor sharp text - not only 444 obviously, but good IPS-like sharp text. Is the CX/CX1 good for this? I know the contrast alone will help, but without being able to see one in person, I hate to gamble. I also know there will probably be a lot of static image no-nos many hours of the day and am sort of preparing myself for a slight bit of burn-in. Anybody else been using theirs as a work monitor for many hours of the day?
I've been kicking myself for that today, lol.
How was the image quality? I assume 4:2:2 was what you could get at 4k120?
If you have a Sam's nearby, they have them on display, as does Best Buy in the Magnolia area
